The frequently zany scribblings of a well-rounded man with passionate opinions. Hey, it's better than "Something I put up because I needed to rant before my head exploded."

Even more amazing music... DSCF1771smThis Sunday afternoon at The Black Dog in Stirling. We’ll be playing music there for about 3 hours. Welcomed by both staff and the patrons in the lounge and restaurant, our music is appreciated. Once a month on Sunday afternoons. This Sunday afternoon (February 8th). Time is from 2 pm until 5.The format is a ‘song circle’ with the lead changing from person to person among the group. Everyone has the option to offer a tune when their turn comes around, or pass to their neighbour if they’d rather. Depending on the music, the mood, choice of instruments, etc. some will choose to support whoever is leading a song, others may prefer to sit out and listen. DSCF1663We invite you to come out and join us, making music with old friends; for sure, there’ll be some new faces too. DSCF1731Remember....“Bring your instruments, your voices and your music. It’s all unplugged and it’s all good! Guitar, bass, harmonica, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, fiddle, accordion, flute, celtic harp – the list goes on.“There may be only 4 or 5 of us or maybe a whole room full of musicians. A place for ‘first-timers’ and experienced players alike. A good bunch of people playing all kinds of music together. People in their teens all the way through proto-geezers. Maybe even an DSCF1647sincipient-geriat or two....“The blues does not rule. Any acoustic music from punk to polka!”DSCF1790sm(Baritone sax and tuba set up in the parking lot....)Hope to see you Sunday afternoon in Stirling.James
